No you naughty boys, I am not talking about that kind of clevage, but it sure got your attention! I am talking about my latest cleaver style fighting knife from Channing Watson. This is the same talented maker who made the nasty looking hawkbill knife and also the very exotic push dagger for me. I saw one Channing had made on the USN forum for another member and I asked him to make me one with a few changes. I wanted the clip angled back slightly more than the other knife and I also wanted the clip sharpened.
As you can see Channing makes an awesome cleaver style knife just waiting to carve up Zombies or other brain dead looters, gangsters, etc. He made the nine inch long by two inch wide blade with just a little sweep so that it will slice better and then he put a very sharp edge on it. The clip is not quite as sharp but it will improve penetration, which is what I was looking for. The frosted hamon wraps back around the tip and up the clip point contrasting nicely with the rest of the highly polished blade. The sculpted black micarta handle scales provide a comfortable and firm grip. They are firmly attached to the full tang which is drilled for a thong hole. The overall length of the cleaver is fourteen inches
The Watson cleaver came with a fitted light weight kydex sheath. No bulk and just enough tension to hold it securely in place. I have attached a simple nylon belt loop. The knife is very active and fast in the hand. There is enough weight-forward for chopping and good sweep for slicing. Cleavers are not sexy looking but like a machete, a bolo, or a smatchet, you can bet they’ll make an awful mess. Thanks Channing for another super knife. Here is a website for Mr. Watson
